I'm ready to depart for greener pastures
I'm all choked up by thoughts of leaving you
but honey, my life's story's no disaster
my hopes of paradise are coming true

One final farewell kiss my dearest darling
is my last wish before I step on through
that cold and painful doorway of my parting
for my rent earthly tent no more will do

I guess I'll see you later on my love
when time is gone forever and no longer interrupts
our dreams and how we make them real, forever in our hearts
I guess I'll see you later on my love

What's that I'm hearing now my sweetest angel?
above and far beyond there's love enthroned
you press your head against my chest, I exhale
release the ghost to find my savior's home

I know sometimes you'll mourn me in my passing
and grief will sure assail you with its tears
you'll cry awhile but I know love that lastly,
you'll be with me again so don't you fear

I know I'll see you later on, I promise
to walk those golden streets, your hand in mine
it will eternally then be a party
I'll see you later on when you arrive
